Dear JoAnne, Dick, Judy, Martha, Charlie and Beth Ann,
I was so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was like my 2nd mother when we were all growing up on Perry Street. I remember all the great times I had hanging out at you house when we were kids. I will always remember both your mom and dad fondly. My deepest sympathy to you all along with my thought and prayers.

Dear Cousins,
I am sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I will always remember the great times we all had at the family gatherings she hosted. Her influence created wonderful childhood memories I will always cherish, from Baskin-Robbins ice cream, games and conversations, she always made everyone feel loved and welcomed. Her talents and gifts are easily seen within you all as you are carrying on her legacy. You all are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. God bless you.

Dear Hoffmeyer Cousins,
What joy your mother, my aunt, has brought to our family! Her positive attitude, ready smile and loving laughter echo in my memories of her through the years. Especially in my younger years, she embraced me with love and support, and even though recent years have separated us geographically, I could always count on a Christmas card from her - reminding me of her love and the good times in our lives. You are lucky to have had such a great mom. Like you, I am saddened by her loss, and send you all my heartfelt sympathies.
